In Extremis (2004)

About this game

This is a word game with a twist. Players are all given a letter that starts the word. Then are other letters shown in different colors. Green letters must be used in a word, while red letters cannot be included in the word. If ever a letter appears as both green and as red, then it's the first person to slap the table that wins that round.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
